ellyjones: There's a regression from the Cocoa UI in the handling of modifiers and clicks in the omnibox (I think only some of these worked, but I know the shift-click one did).

These would be useful and benefit users on all Views platforms, so your team is under no obligation to add this functionality. But if you have someone who could add this to Views, it would un-regress the Cocoa behavior.

For the record, here's the expected behaviors, which would match the equivalent modifier-enter behavior:
- Shift-click: open in new window
- Ctrl-click: add www. and .com and navigate
- Alt-click: open in new foreground tab
- Command/special-click: open in new background tab

The code paths to do this with modifier-enter already exist, so it probably (right?) wouldn't be difficult to add the modifier-click handling.
